About Us

Maria

I’m a young, single designer and project manager in the Washington, DC area. My name constantly gets mispronounced- think Mariah Carey instead of Ave Maria. I grew up in Lynchburg, VA, the oldest of four siblings. I’ve always had an interest in design and decorating.

I’m passionate about my faith, leading Young Life, and my family and friends. I love massive amounts of reality tv, manatees, and anything miniature.

Hannah

I am a teacher outside of Washington, DC. I am the 3rd of 4 kids with an older sister named Maria(h) NOT Williams. I think the best part of teaching is all the funny stuff that happens when you are in a room of 7 and 8 year olds all day. I went to JMU and loved it.

I LOVE Anthony Bourdain, Real Housewives and hedgehogs. Any questions?
